Equipment information:

Ten-Tec Orion 565 Transceiver

The Ten-Tec ORION represents the most
innovative HF transceiver ever created for
amateur radio use.
Our aim in designing and producing this
radio was to meet the demands of
increasingly intense competition in DX and
contesting, while adding many nonperformance
related features that the active
ham can also appreciate. The features and
performance ORION brings to ham radio will
enhance HF radio contacts of all sorts, while
opening new possibilities for amateur radio
operation. ORION offers world-class
reception and transmission of CW, SSB,
digital modes, FM, and AM on all 10 HF
amateur bands, plus excellent general
coverage reception via the second (sub)
receiver from 100 kHz to 30 MHz.
